Be it known that 1, CHARLES S. More; a citizen of the United States, residing at at Springate street, Uticzi, county of Oneida, and State of iv'ew York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Roller- Besrings for Automobile-lYheels, fully de scribed and represented in the following specilu il,-l01l and the accompanying drawings, forming ll. of tiresome.

The present int eution is adopted for over hung journals like ti )se projected from the stecrin g-lu-j-ad of an out Y while-axle; and the invention embraces a o urrounding the journal with set of'nntil ioirrolls in one end of the casing and in the opposite end,

where a nut con be placed upon the end oi" the journal, :1 thrust-collar formed oia grooved ringupon the journal, and divided seats adjustable to and from one another to embrace the outer side of the halls, the casing having a thread in its outer end and on ennulor nut fitted to the thread to clamp the divided seats when adjusted, and the usuulcop being litted to the outer end of l; he (using to i rclose the nut and the tlnust-coili-ni.

end and s shoulder 0 near the outer end, against which the grooved thrust-ring d is 5 5 clamped by a nut e, fitted to a thread on the end of the journal. A cotter f is shown for locking the nut in place.

A disk is shown fitted against the collar Z1 and held in place'by a steel sleeve h, which .is crowded upon the body a against the collarto form. a wearing-surface for ontifrictionrollers. A yielding substance, as felt, g, is tlittcd to groove in the edge of the disk to contact with the casing and exclude dust therefrom. The casing i is 'shownwlth flanges j for clamping the disk or spokes of the wheel. The sleeve It is extended forwardly upon the journal as for asthe antiirietion-rolls are a p'lied, and a shoulder 7c is formed within t 1e casing near the outer end of such sleeve, and o lining 7c is iitted Within the casing to such shoulder. In practice the sleeve is pressed or shrunk upon the journal, so as to retain its position b friction.

A set of cntifriction-rolls Z, with the usual guide Z, (shown in Figs. 1 and 4,) are fitted between the shell h and the lining 7c.

The flanges j are shown equidistant from the ends of the sleeve it kind lining 76, so that 80 the load on. the wheel falls chiefly on the rollors Z. The outer end of the casing is formed with internal thi'ciul and a cap m screwed A. soc-l t 71 is formed it the bottom "lo thread with a shoulder '12" at its inner and iilivided seals 0 0 to engage the d oi the halls are fitted, respectively, to toe aw-threed and to the socket n.

The seat 0 is slmwn in Figs. 8 and 9 and is d with holes 21, by wh. h e spanner may be applied to adjust it into the desired conturt with the halls when the some are fitted between the groove of the ring a and the face of the soot o. i A Washer q is shown applied to the outer side of the seat 0, illKlllIl annular out '1' is screwed into the hub outside of the washer to press the SillIlElllI'IUlY ogziinst the seat 0" to lock the seat when adjusted.

'lhenht c forms with the devices between the. nut and the shoulder within the casing IOC means for preventing longitudinal movement. of the casing, and thus retains the inner end of the casing in contact with the packing g upon the disk 9, and the packing is thus enabled to exclude dust continuously from :05
